“Archaeology’s Deep Time Perspective on Environment and Social Sustainability” free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart for Little Colorado River Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society, at Springerville Heritage Center, 418 E. Main St., Springerville, Arizona; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities*
6:30-8 pm. Free.
The deep time perspective that archaeology and related disciplines provide about natural hazards, environmental change, and human adaptation not only is a valuable supplement to historical records, it sometimes contradicts historical data used by modern societies to make decisions affecting social sustainability and human safety. What can be learned from scientific evidence that virtually all prehistoric farming cultures in Arizona and the Southwest eventually surpassed their thresholds of sustainability, leading to collapse or reorganization of their societies? Could the disastrous damages to nuclear power plants damaged by the Japanese tsunami of 2011 have been avoided if the engineers who decided where to build those plants had not ignored evidence of prehistoric tsunamis? This presentation looks at archaeological, geological, and sustainable-agricultural evidence on environmental changes and how human cultures have adapted to those changes, and discusses the value of a “beyond history” perspective for modern society. This program is made possible by Arizona Humanities.

“What’s in a Symbol? A Look at Hohokam Art and Imagery” free online presentation by archaeologist Linda Gregonis sponsored by Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS), Tucson*
7-8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
All cultures use symbols to convey ideas. In archaeological contexts, those symbols have become ways to define and differentiate archaeological cultures. But what did the symbols mean to the artisans who created them? The art that Hohokam craftspeople produced embodied the world (seen and unseen) as they understood it. They were influenced by weather, animals they encountered, plants they grew and used, pilgrimages they made, other people they met, and their ancestors. They translated their experiences into art, creating iconic motifs that were shared across a wide region. Using objects, design elements, and motifs that were made and used during the pre-Classic period (circa 600-1150 CE), Linda Gregonis will discuss how the Hohokam may have used symbols on different media including pottery, shell, stone, and rock surfaces to define group identity and express their view of the world. Ms. Gregonis is an independent researcher who has spent more than 40 years researching various aspects of Hohokam culture while working primarily as a ceramics analyst.

“Staying Alive in the Age of Ice: Animal-Skin Clothing and the People Who Made It” free in-person and online presentation by anthropologist Susan Ruth, PhD, for Albuquerque Archaeological Society meeting at Albuquerque Museum of Art and History, 2000 Mountain Rd. NW, Albuquerque, and online*
7:30 pm Mountain Daylight Time. (Zoom link opens around 7 pm). Free (donations encouraged).
Thoughts of ice-age peoples often conjure up scenes of big-game hunting and impressive weaponry, but survival in cold climates is as much about staying warm as it is about food, perhaps even more so. Hide working was not a secondary, optional activity during an ice age, but as necessary and indispensable as hunting. Ice age peoples, especially the very young and the very old, were in need of warm and dry clothing, bedding, and shelter. Unfortunately, the study of fur and animal-hide products during ice ages has received scant attention, in part because its residues aren’t always clear and in part because processing animal skins has an unglamorous reputation. In this talk Susan Ruth explores the questions 1) Can we tell who was doing the hide-processing and sewing at the end of the last ice age? and 2) What do the archaeological record and historical images reveal about how hide working was organized in terms of supply of tools and the spatial location of hide processing? The results suggest that both the makers and the organization of hide working are identifiable.

“9th Annual Juneteenth Celebration” sponsored by Camp Naco and the Sierra Vista African American Community Coalition at Buena High School, 5225 E. Buena School Blvd., Sierra Vista, Arizona*
10 am-4 pm. Free.
Camp Naco, the historic “Buffalo Soldiers” US Army post in Naco, Arizona, cosponsors this annual celebration featuring fun for the whole family with food, games, flowetry, a Black business market, ancestral balloon release, a basketball tournament, presentation of the Buffalo Soldier Legacy Award by the Southwest Association of Buffalo Soldiers, and music by BWPC and Freddy J. Juneteenth commemorates the date – June 19th, 1865 – when 250,000 enslaved men and women in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas finally learned they were free, some two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. For Camp Naco, Juneteenth is an opportunity to bring together communities and people of all backgrounds in celebration of our African American ancestors and to ensure their legacy of resilience and achievement continues to inspire future generations.

“Images in Mimbres Pottery - Plainware to Classic” free presentation with Marianne Smith sponsored by Grant County Archaeological Society (GCAS) at the Roundup Lodge, 91 Acklin Hill Rd, Hanover (San Lorenzo), New Mexico*
6 pm potluck, 6:30 business meeting followed by the program. Free.
Plainware and corrugated pottery in Mimbres culture generally followed trends that were similar to neighboring cultures. However, during the Mimbres Classic period the images painted on pottery became highly variable and deviated from the traditions of their contemporaries. We will never know exactly what messages the Mimbreños were trying to get across with these images, and it's easy for our assumptions to get the better of us. However, our modern brains are built the same as those of ancient cultures so we can examine some of the ways in which we are more alike than different.

“Native American Flutes of North America free online presentation by Marlon Magdalena (Jemez Pueblo), sponsored by Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, Cortez, Colorado*
4 pm Mountain Daylight Time. Free (donations encouraged).
Flutes found in the Americas, and more specifically the flutes of North America, have been in use for thousands of years. There are many types of flutes that were developed by the Indigenous peoples of America. The modern standardized flute known as the “Native American Flute” has caused some confusion about what a Native American Flute really is. This presentation will discuss the history, construction methods, and the different varieties of flutes that were made and used by many Native American tribes and nations. Marlon Magdalena, a tribal member of the Pueblo of Jemez in New Mexico, is an artist, educator, and performer of Native style flutes.

“History of Congress Street” tour guided by historian Ken Scoville sponsored by Presidio San Agustín del Tucson Museum, starting at the Fox Theatre, 17 W. Congress St., Tucson*
6:30-8 pm. $30 ($20 for Presidio Museum members).
In the 1870s, going east of Stone on Congress Street meant getting out of town. The arrival of the railroad would pull development east to the railroad station, and then vacant lots on Congress began filling in along the entire length of the street. In the 1940s and 50s Congress Street was the place to be for a day of shopping, a movie, and lunch. With the arrival of suburban malls and strip commercial shops, Congress Street declined to the point that many businesses, including the Fox Theatre, were boarded up. The street’s rebirth began in the late 1980s with the recognition that preservation of the historic buildings would revitalize downtown. This guided walking tour covers this growth, demise, and rebirth of Congress Street. Historian and tour guide Ken Scoville has been involved directly with helping redevelop downtown and Congress Street since 1985.

“Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online program featuring the presentation “The Gypsum Overlook Paleo-Archaic Archaeological Site in New Mexico’s White Sands” by archaeologist Matthew Cuba, MA, sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, PO Box 40577, Tucson AZ 85717
7 to 8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). Free.
Gypsum Overlook is an archaeological site on southern New Mexico’s White Sands Missile Range, situated in the Tularosa Basin on the eastern shore of the now dry Paleo Lake Otero. Archaeological excavations there identified three or possibly four habitation structures, five hearths or roasting pits, and flaked and ground stone artifacts dating to approximately 8,800 years ago during the transition from the Paleoindian to Early Archaic period. The cultural features and assemblage at Gypsum Overlook provide one of the earliest records of Early Holocene housing structures and ground stone assemblages in New Mexico and the greater Southwest, as people began to diversify their subsistence patterns to adapt to the drying and warming post-Pleistocene climate. The unique integrity of the site's setting and buried archaeological material preserved its features in stunning detail, allowing an uncommon and rare view of the Paleo-Archaic adaptation in the Southwest.

“Comanches, Captives, Germans: Transactions on the Texas Frontier, 1847” free online presentation by Daniel J. Gelo, PhD and Christopher J. Wickham, PhD, sponsored by the Amerind Museum, 2100 N. Amerind Rd., Dragoon, Arizona*
11 am Arizona/Mountain Standard Time. Free (donations requested).
In 2021, three finely worked sketches dating back to the middle of the nineteenth century were brought to the attention of scholars studying the relationship between German settlers and Comanches. Seemingly the work of one artist and, with one exception, never published, the sketches feature Comanches, Germans, a captive girl, a wagon train, the landscape and wildlife of the Texas Hill Country, and dynamic scenes of cultural contact. Who was the girl? Who were the Comanches involved? Who were the Germans? Where and when did this captive exchange take place? What do we make of the rich Indigenous and German cultural details that the artist includes? How can we understand his work – as art, as data about Comanche life and customs, and as documentation of a specific cultural encounter? And, of course, who was the artist, and how important is his work? Trying to find answers to these questions, the presenters will examine the drawings in detail and decode information placed by the artist. Daniel J. Gelo is Dean and Professor of Anthropology Emeritus and former Stumberg Distinguished University Chair at the University of Texas at San Antonio. Christopher J. Wickham is Professor Emeritus of German at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
